Oh la la!
This is really painful, as a medical personnel I understand how this feels. The pregnancy process indeed in itself is not bon bon alcoolisé, the labour room too is not someone's friend, it is either you give life or your life is taken.

What a huge sacrifice you did there sir, that friend should be very precious to you, one thing I think we lack in the world is such types of genuine love and care. Indeed if everyone does theory part, the world will become a great place to be.
My condolences to your friend and the wife, God's in control🙏🏾
